An enigmatic organization opposed to the Zodiarts, and creators of the Meteor System. Their base of operations is the M-BUS (Meteor-Backup Satellite), which fires a beam of Cosmic Energy that enables the transformation into Kamen Rider Meteor.!General Tropes

* EarlyBirdCameo: If you go back to the first episode, the M-BUS can be seen.* {{Expy}}: Most of Ryusei and Tachibana's interactions are similar to that of the interactions between [[Series/KamenRiderDouble Terui Ryu and Shroud]], while the formers being similar to the latters in nearly every way. It almost feels like a dark take on their relationship, as Tachibana has Ryusei on a tighter leash than Shroud with Ryu. [[spoiler: Nearly everything went to hell between Ryusei and Tachibana. Whereas Shroud used Ryu for her own gain, but was at best an anti-hero, Tachibana used Ryusei for his own goals, and is TheDragon to the BigBad. However, it's subverted and it turns out that Tachibana had clear intentions. Possibly more clearer than Shroud's own intentions, though he had a shorter life expectancy than Shroud's. The only thing that went right, even better than how it happened with Shroud, is that Fourze and Meteor were able to combine powers and create Meteor Fusion States]]. * {{Homage}}: The name of the group itself is a homage to the Anti-Shocker Union of the original ''Series/KamenRider''. * [[spoiler:KillSat: The M-BUS can function as one.]]* SpaceStation: The Union's headquarters.

A mysterious transfer student who secretly fights as Kamen Rider Meteor. While he acts awkward and shy to gain the trust of those around him, his true persona is that of a super-serious loner who is coldly dedicated to his mission. He is attempting to awaken the Aries Zodiarts, believing that its powers can be used to save the life of Jiro Iseki, his best friend and fellow martial artist who fell into a coma after a failed attempt to activate a Zodiarts Switch.----* AloofAlly: He'll fight with the Kamen Rider Club, but he's not going to fight ''with'' them as partners.

Granted, it used the shield ploy better than Lynx (read: moved Tomoko's head in the way of a Mars Breaker-backed punch)]]*** The irony returns in #30 when [[spoiler: Libra transforms into Tomoko which prevents Meteor Storm from attacking him.]]* [[spoiler:TheAtoner: During the tail end of #32 for killing Gentaro the previous episode. This even carries onto the following episode as he states "I will protect Gentaro". Ryusei's atonement carries over into the Fourze summer movie - one of the trailers has Ryusei declaring to the [[SpaceIronmenKyodain Uchuu Tetsujin]] that [[ContinuityNod "I won't let Gentaro get killed again".]]]]* {{Badass}}: Manage to kick the ass of Libra Zodiarts, despite him being a member of the Horoscopes. Not to mention his awesome Jeet Kune Do fighting style.** [[spoiler:BroughtDownToBadass: During #32, after his ability to transform into Meteor is taken away for his actions. He ''still'' manages to kick tons of Dustard butt.]]** EmpoweredBadassNormal: Practiced in martial arts before being Meteor.* BareFistedMonk: Compared to [[Series/KamenRiderBlade many]] [[Series/KamenRiderHibiki past]] [[Series/KamenRiderDecade second]] [[Series/KamenRiderOOO Riders]], he prefers fighting hand-to-hand.* BeneathTheMask: He pretends to be a friendly person, but truthfully can't stand Gentaro at all and is a morose, aloof guy at heart. Gentaro realizes the moment he sees him that he's wearing a mask and doesn't let him in the club until he gets a taste of what's under it.** BecomingTheMask: Seems to be happening slowly. A good example is in Episode 26, where he notes that [[spoiler:Shun and Miu's departure could be detrimental to the Club's function, just like Gentaro noted]].* BerserkButton: Gentaro taking down the potential Horoscopes Zodiarts before it has a chance causes Ryusei to ''damn near blow his cover''.** Another one was in Episode 20; Kengo's replies as to why he won't return to the club made him remember the altercation he had with Jiro. He was about to clock Kengo into Saturn if he had the chance.* BigDamnHeroes: Saves Gentaro just before he was going to be massacred by both Libra and Perseus Zodiarts in Episode 16. Does it again just as Lynx is about to pounce on him in Episode 17.** And again in Episode 32, [[spoiler:as it's his only way to protect the Kamen Rider Club whom he betrayed]].* [[spoiler:BrainwashedAndCrazy: Was temporarily under Taurus's control in #40.]]* BruceLeeClone* CallBack: a DreamSequence at the beginning of #29 shows Meteor fighting Perseus and Lynx, the two Zodiarts seen during his introduction.* CatchPhrase: When he introduces himself to an enemy, "Kamen Rider Meteor, I'll decide your fate!"** When he's in Storm States, "Kamen Rider Meteor Storm, my fate will deliver a storm!"** The first one receives an inversion and a CallBack in the final episode.->[[spoiler: '''Ryusei (to Leo Zodiarts):''' ''My'' fate is mine to decide. ''(Emphasis: editor)'']]* CheshireCatGrin: Sports an awesome one in #33 as he tries to prevent Yukina from getting too close to Gentaro.* CoolBike: The Machine Meteorstar. Part motorcycle, part satellite from the looks of it.* DarkAndTroubledPast: Jiro possessed a Zodiarts Switch but it backfired. Now the guy's in a coma and Ryusei's off to save him.* [[spoiler:DealWithTheDevil: Allied himself with Aries Zodiarts to save Jiro. The first order of business? '''Kill Fourze!'''. Worse is that Aries ''kept his word''...[[WhatTheHellHero only for Jiro to relapse upon learning of what he did]].]]* DynamicEntry: Meteor's henshin produces a SphereOfPower around him that allows him to fly in like...well, a meteor, which he's used in this fashion.* [[spoiler:EasilyForgiven: From Gentaro, the guy he killed in Episode 31 and who holds no real malice. The other KRC members follow suit. To his credit him Ryusei is genuinely remorseful of what he did.]]* EurekaMoment: Gains one in Episode 22 regarding the identity of Pegasus Zodiarts when Shun mentions how they should be careful whenever Gentaro used Magnet States and after Kengo warned JK about the sensitivity of the equipment on the Rabbit Hatch.* {{Expy}}: Yoshizawa states that his portrayal of Ryusei was influenced by Light Yagami from ''DeathNote''.* FalseFriend: Invoked as part of his cover. Gentaro is actually TooDumbToFool and can tell right from the start that he was hiding his true self. However, Gentaro does accept him into the club after he punches him, because he picks up on the real him and wants to be the friend with ''that'' Ryusei.** The "false" is even emphasized because he decided to no longer make any friends when Jiro stated that friendship was ridiculous.* FinishingMove** ''Starlight Shower'': A series of [[RapidFireFisticuffs fast punches]], activated by placing the Meteor Switch in the Meteor Galaxy.** ''Meteor Strike'': A powerful kick activated by turning on the Meteor Switch in the Meteor Driver.*** ''Meteor Storm Strike'': The same attack in Meteor Storm States, also using the Meteor Switch.** ''Meteor Tornado'': A [[EverythingsBetterWithSpinning spinning attack]] activated by turning on the Meteor Switch in the Meteor Driver.** ''Meteor Storm Punisher'': Inserts the Meteor Storm Switch into the Meteor Storm Shaft, after which the tip of the switch is shot out like a [[BattleTops spinning top]]. It also absorbs the Zodiarts' Cosmic Energy and [[HoistByHisOwnPetard uses it against them]]. This has the added bonus of making it safe to destroy them thanks to draining off the extra energy.* FunnyBruceLeeNoises: He seems inordinately fond of these.* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor* [[spoiler: HeroicSacrifice: In stark contrast to the above, when Kengo tells the Riders that the Gemini clone Gentarou is fighting is actually a mass of explosive energy, Ryuusei immediately abandons his fight with the actual Gemini, runs to Gentarou, tackles the clone off of him, and then ''pins it to the ground until it explodes.'']]* HoistByHisOwnPetard: The ''[[FinishingMove Meteor Storm Punisher]]'' is essentially a weaponized version. It absorbs the Zodiarts' own energy and uses it against them.* {{Hypocrite}}: Mocks Gentaro into giving into Lynx Zodiarts in exchange for JK's safety. Yet, he's out there as Meteor so he can save his ''own'' friend.* [[spoiler:IJustWantToHaveFriends: He admits in Episode 32 that all this time he wanted to be friends with Gentaro, but his determination to save Jiro ruined all of that (and ended up killing Gentaro). Cue him in a "MyGodWhatHaveIDone" moment in the rain.]]* IdiotBall: [[spoiler:Went after Cancer Zodiarts to an empty library and untransformed, without realizing he could ''still'' be in the room.]]* InnerMonologue: Done to show his inner thoughts. The "echoing narration" version is used most of the time, but Episode 27 has an interesting variation: during his monologue, he's facing away from the Club (who seem to be [[TimeStandsStill frozen in place]]) and Meteor's henshin music is playing in the background.* JapanesePronouns: He normally uses "ore," but switches to "boku" when in his OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent persona.* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Mentally berates the members of the KRC but he can also be nice to them. He helped communicate with Kengo in Episode 19, [[spoiler:stopped himself from punching Tomoko in the face in Episode 23]], and help Shun and Miu realize that they're still important to the KRC.** Slowly becoming less and less of a jerk, [[spoiler:and at the end of Episode 32 he accepts Gentaro's hand of friendship for good]].* {{Kiai}}: In a manner similar to BruceLee's. Justified in that he fights using none other than Lee's Jeet Kune Do.* [[KnightInShiningArmor Knight in Star-studded Armor]]: Seems to be going this way towards Tomoko, due to always showing up the moment right before she gets attacked.* LetsYouAndHimFight: briefly at the beginning of #18, since Gentaro was angry at him for letting Lynx run rampant.* MadeOfIron: You'd think Cygnus Zodiarts stamping on his arm would leave some kind of GameBreakingInjury that would clue in the others on who he is. No such luck.* MeaningfulName: "Ryusei" means meteor. And of course "Ryu" on its own is the same pronunciation as the Japanese for "dragon"... which is part of BruceLee's Chinese name. You gotta wonder why they didn't just go for that instead, as the whole cast uses the rarely employed ''inseki'' instead when talking about actual meteors, because if it wasn't the case his cover would be blown within five minutes!* MundaneUtility: ''Meteor Storm Punisher''...as a glorified golf swing!* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:Sure Jiro woke up and deactivated his Zodiarts Switch, but then he relapsed after losing his will to live over hearing of Ryusei's betrayal - all for his sake. Ryusei walks away through a GreyRainOfDepression with sheer guilt in his heart, [[WasItReallyWorthIt wondering if saving Jiro was worth killing Gentaro]] before breaking down and screaming Gentaro's name.]]* MysteriousProtector: Even when we know who he is, he has tons of traits of this trope.* NewTransferStudent* NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[spoiler:Untransformed in the library instead of just running off, unaware that Kijima is watching. Now Tachibana has to terminate his abilities!]]* [[NiceJobFixingItVillain Nice Job Fixing It,]] AntiHero: Nearly blew his cover by punching Gentaro out of frustration over seeing him destroy Lynx Zodiarts, but it works to his advantage soon, since [[spoiler: it allowed Gentaro to see a bit of the true Ryusei and have him join the Kamen Rider Club just so he can make friends with ''that'' Ryusei as opposed to the cover.]]* NotSoAboveItAll: Went through CharacterDevelopment similar to Kengo's, making him finally join in some of the Club's antics.** Even before the events of #32, a genuine comical side can be occasionally seen, such as when [[spoiler:Miu announced Yuki as her successor as ClubPresident, he reacts the same way as the other Club members.]]* NotSoDifferent: [[RuleOfThree Gentaro once more]]. Even though they have different philosophies and goals, Ryusei will take the time to help out his fellow Kamen Rider Club members and cheer them up just like Gentaro does with everyone else he meets.** Ryusei states that he's not different from the club in general. They try to do the best for each other, stick together through and through and would sacrifice themselves in order to help others.* OhCrap: [[spoiler: At the end of #27, he's unable to transform into Kamen Rider Meteor due to him untransforming at a ''very'' wrong moment and Kijima observing it. Made even worse because the Meteor Switch makes Tachibana able to keep an eye on everything Ryusei does.]]** [[spoiler: At the end of #31 when Tachibana cancels Meteor's transformation, revealing his identity to the Kamen Rider Club!]]* OnlyFriend: He may mock Gentaro for having so many friends and not taking things seriously, but the one thing that is keeping him from turning evil is that he's got a close friend - probably the ''only'' friend he'll ever consider - that he wants to save from a coma.* OnlySaneMan: To the Kamen Rider Club - except that he's having some doubts where Tomoko's witchcraft is concerned.* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Dragon was so unstoppable back then that Meteor didn't want Dragon to evolve into a Horoscope.* PetTheDog: [[spoiler:When Cygnus used Tomoko as a HumanShield, Meteor decided to halt his Mars Breaker punch to save her.]]* PreAsskickingOneLiner: "I'll decide your fate!"** As [[SuperMode Meteor Storm]]: "My fate will will deliver a storm!"* {{Pride}}: While subtle, #27 highlights that he is arrogant. He believes that his identity as Meteor won't be found out and that he wants the new upgrade for Meteor because he doesn't believe the suit is capable of giving him the power he needs. Tachibana notes that his arrogance is getting in the way of his true strength, [[spoiler: which is why not only does Ryusei get his identity discovered, but he doesn't get the Meteor suit back.]]* RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Gentaro's red. (One of two)* TheRival: Seems to be one with Leo Zodiarts.* SecretIdentity: He needs to keep the identity of Meteor this or else the suit goes bye bye. [[spoiler: Due to having the IdiotBall in #27, it happens.]]** [[spoiler: But thanks to him killing Gentaro, Tachibana cancels the transformation so now the Kamen Rider Club knows.]]** [[spoiler: And in the end of #32 all of the Kamen Rider Club-minus Ohsugi who came in a little later-are sworn to keep the identity a secret.]]* SecretTestOfCharacter: Tachibana offers him the upgrade he's been asking for [[spoiler:and permission to become Meteor again]] but he'll need to reach a certain place by a certain time... when he promised to return to the KMR holding Cancer Zodiarts at bay before that same time. [[spoiler:He chooses his friends over the upgrade, which is the right answer and grants him the reward anyway.]]* ShadowArchetype: This is Gentaro if Gentaro decided to just focus on his own needs rather than playing AllLovingHero to others.** He also is a ShadowArchetype for Shun whereas Ryusei being a somewhat jerk who uses people as he sees fit and does good to keep his identity safe, while Shun treats his classmates with respect and does good deeds [[GoodFeelsGood because it's the right thing to do.]]* ShipTease: With Nozama. [[spoiler:Even the Horoscopes seem to be shipping them, as it's exploited by Libra in episode #30 by turning into her to prevent Ryusei from finishing him off.]]** Brought up again in #41, where he becomes enraged that [[spoiler: Virgo/Tachibana sent "Tomoko-chan" (as what he's started to refer to her as) to the Dark Nebula.]] And [[BridalCarry in episode 42]]...Well the writers sure do love to tease, don't they?** And [[spoiler:even Ryo Yoshizawa/Ryusei Sakuta stated in his blog "So he actually like's Tomoko-chan!", after he said that Meteor was in Dark Nebula with Tomoko-chan.]]** In #44 the KRC members are shipping them...[[spoiler:Well mainly Yuki, because she was the one who made the couple ticket!]]** In #47, [[spoiler:with the Rabbit Hatch trashed and the Zodiarts attacking, he takes the time to make sure Tomoko is safe, even charging JK to watch out for her while he continues to fight.]]** At the end of the series, [[spoiler:Ryusei returns to Subaruboshi, and encourages Tomoko to visit him there, telling her that he is not dating Shirakawa as Tomoko thought.]]* SixthRanger: He fights the Zodiarts as Meteor, but joins the club as Ryusei ''under false pretenses'', that is until he begins BecomingTheMask.* SphereOfPower: Meteor's henshin forms a blue energy sphere around him for a short time. Unlike [[TransformationIsAFreeAction most other henshin effects that come with a convenient defensive barrier]], [[DynamicEntry this one can actually do some damage.]]* StarSpangledSpandex* SuperMode: [[color:blue:Meteor]] [[color:gold:Storm]]** GoldenSuperMode: Has a good deal of gold in the color scheme.* SurroundedByIdiots[=/=]OnlySaneMan: How he compares his work with the Kamen Rider Club to be.* TemptingFate: Sure Ryusei, tell your supporter that your identity will ''never'' be found out. [[spoiler: Surprise, surprise. It did. Nice job, idiot.]]* TransferStudentUniforms: He's even able to let Ohsugi let him wear it, once he shows him the School Handbook reguarding the uniform[[note]]it says that the uniform is recommended but not required[[/note]], also letting Gentaro ''finally'' off the hook for wearing his Delinquent style.* WatchThePaintJob: when Meteor was chasing Pegasus, Fourze hitches a ride on the Meteorstar using the Winch Switch, causing Meteor to shout something similar.* WeakButSkilled: Lacks Fourze's sheer arsenal, but makes up for it by being a skilled martial artist.* WeaponOfChoice** MixAndMatchWeapon: Meteor Galaxy*** PlayingWithFire: Mars Breaker [[note]]Meteor summons a small Mars planet, where he blasts the enemy with fire or uses it for a super-heated punch.[[/note]]*** PowerFist: Jupiter Hammer [[note]]Meteor summons a small Jupiter planet to punch the enemy with.[[/note]]*** RingsOfDeath: Saturn Sorcery [[note]]Meteor summons a small Saturn planet, where he swings energy rings at the enemy.[[/note]]** SimpleStaff: Meteor Storm Shaft*** BattleTops: Meteor Storm Switch's [[AllInTheManual Storm Topper]].* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:He lets Lynx Zodiarts go in the attempt to find out whether or not it will become the Horoscope General: Aries Zodiarts.]]** [[spoiler: He kills Gentaro so he could ask Aries Zodiarts to heal his friend.]]* WhatTheHellHero: [[spoiler: In his debut episode, he's got flack from the Kamen Rider Club for ''letting the Lynx Zodiarts go free'' instead of letting them land the final blow on him.]]** [[spoiler:Episode 18 continues this with Tomoko screaming that Kamen Riders are supposed to be heroes, something that he ''definitely'' isn't in her eyes. However he brushes it off as he states that his view of justice isn't equal to what the Kamen Rider Club believe.]]** He also gets partially called out by Cygnus for running away while Tomoko was on her own. [[spoiler: At least Meteor didn't clock Tomoko in the face with a ''miniature Mars''.]]** [[spoiler: He '''kills Gentaro''' with the one-inch punch so he could save Jiro by allying himself with Aries Zodiarts. Even Tachibana was shocked and had to cancel the Meteor Storm transformation, and now the whole Kamen Rider Club knows what's happened. Made even worse because Tachibana himself stated that he could try to find a cure to save Jiro once Aries was captured.]]*** [[spoiler: The reason he did this was because Tachibana said he could ''TRY'' to save Jirou that way, not actually wake him up. Ryusei wants to save Jirou, and with the best Tachibana can do is only trying to save him, he went for the direct route, which is doing what the Aries Zodiarts wants so he can wake up Jirou.]]** [[spoiler: And then Jiro calls him out on what he did in #31, then goes unconscious for losing the 'will to live' thanks to Ryusei killing Gentaro.]]* WhenHeSmiles: In #26, he gives an honest smile that makes him seem that he's not a complete jerk after all.* [[spoiler:YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: As Tachibana states in #27, "Because Cancer has discovered your identity, you can no longer be Meteor."]]** Used again in [[spoiler: #31, when Tachibana revokes his decision on Ryusei gaining Meteor's powers after he kills Gentaro. However, the ending implies Tachibana gives him the power back after he's been redeemed]].[[/folder]]

[[spoiler:And as revealed in #32, the Kamen Rider Club as well, as he sent Kengo the Gate Switch that created the portal in the first place.]]** The reason he had Ryusei go undercover in the Kamen Rider Club was apparently [[spoiler:to help Fourze's powers to develop faster.]]* [[spoiler:BrokenPedestal: When revealed to be Emoto/Virgo, Ryusei doesn't take it well.]]* CoolMask* [[spoiler:DoubleAgent: Despite being Virgo, he was working AGAINST Gamou.]]* [[spoiler:EvilMentor: Revealed to be Virgo, who is Gamou's right-hand man, has threatened to kill the entire Kamen Rider Club to weaken Gentaro, killed Kengo's father, and sent his student Meteor into the Dark Nebula.

Music/DaftPunk!* TakeUpMySword: Acknowledges that he cannot fight on his own despite his goal of defeating the Zodiarts before their Cosmic Energy can cause more havoc.

This has the added bonus of making it safe to destroy them thanks to draining off the extra energy.* FunnyBruceLeeNoises: He seems inordinately fond of these.* HeelFaceRevolvingDoor* [[spoiler: HeroicSacrifice: In stark contrast to the above, when Kengo tells the Riders that the Gemini clone Gentarou is fighting is actually a mass of explosive energy, Ryuusei immediately abandons his fight with the actual Gemini, runs to Gentarou, tackles the clone off of him, and then ''pins it to the ground until it explodes.'']]* HoistByHisOwnPetard: The ''[[FinishingMove Meteor Storm Punisher]]'' is essentially a weaponized version. It absorbs the Zodiarts' own energy and uses it against them.* {{Hypocrite}}: Mocks Gentaro into giving into Lynx Zodiarts in exchange for JK's safety. Yet, he's out there as Meteor so he can save his ''own'' friend.* [[spoiler:IJustWantToHaveFriends: He admits in Episode 32 that all this time he wanted to be friends with Gentaro, but his determination to save Jiro ruined all of that (and ended up killing Gentaro). Cue him in a "MyGodWhatHaveIDone" moment in the rain.]]* IdiotBall: [[spoiler:Went after Cancer Zodiarts to an empty library and untransformed, without realizing he could ''still'' be in the room.]]* InnerMonologue: Done to show his inner thoughts. The "echoing narration" version is used most of the time, but Episode 27 has an interesting variation: during his monologue, he's facing away from the Club (who seem to be [[TimeStandsStill frozen in place]]) and Meteor's henshin music is playing in the background.* JapanesePronouns: He normally uses "ore," but switches to "boku" when in his OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent persona.* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Mentally berates the members of the KRC but he can also be nice to them. He helped communicate with Kengo in Episode 19, [[spoiler:stopped himself from punching Tomoko in the face in Episode 23]], and help Shun and Miu realize that they're still important to the KRC.** Slowly becoming less and less of a jerk, [[spoiler:and at the end of Episode 32 he accepts Gentaro's hand of friendship for good]].* {{Kiai}}: In a manner similar to BruceLee's. Justified in that he fights using none other than Lee's Jeet Kune Do.* [[KnightInShiningArmor Knight in Star-studded Armor]]: Seems to be going this way towards Tomoko, due to always showing up the moment right before she gets attacked.* LetsYouAndHimFight: briefly at the beginning of #18, since Gentaro was angry at him for letting Lynx run rampant.* MadeOfIron: You'd think Cygnus Zodiarts stamping on his arm would leave some kind of GameBreakingInjury that would clue in the others on who he is. No such luck.* MeaningfulName: "Ryusei" means meteor. And of course "Ryu" on its own is the same pronunciation as the Japanese for "dragon"... which is part of BruceLee's Chinese name. You gotta wonder why they didn't just go for that instead, as the whole cast uses the rarely employed ''inseki'' instead when talking about actual meteors, because if it wasn't the case his cover would be blown within five minutes!* MundaneUtility: ''Meteor Storm Punisher''...as a glorified golf swing!* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: [[spoiler:Sure Jiro woke up and deactivated his Zodiarts Switch, but then he relapsed after losing his will to live over hearing of Ryusei's betrayal - all for his sake. Ryusei walks away through a GreyRainOfDepression with sheer guilt in his heart, [[WasItReallyWorthIt wondering if saving Jiro was worth killing Gentaro]] before breaking down and screaming Gentaro's name.]]* MysteriousProtector: Even when we know who he is, he has tons of traits of this trope.* NewTransferStudent* NiceJobBreakingItHero: [[spoiler:Untransformed in the library instead of just running off, unaware that Kijima is watching. Now Tachibana has to terminate his abilities!]]* [[NiceJobFixingItVillain Nice Job Fixing It,]] AntiHero: Nearly blew his cover by punching Gentaro out of frustration over seeing him destroy Lynx Zodiarts, but it works to his advantage soon, since [[spoiler: it allowed Gentaro to see a bit of the true Ryusei and have him join the Kamen Rider Club just so he can make friends with ''that'' Ryusei as opposed to the cover.]]* NotSoAboveItAll: Went through CharacterDevelopment similar to Kengo's, making him finally join in some of the Club's antics.** Even before the events of #32, a genuine comical side can be occasionally seen, such as when [[spoiler:Miu announced Yuki as her successor as ClubPresident, he reacts the same way as the other Club members.]]* NotSoDifferent: [[RuleOfThree Gentaro once more]]. Even though they have different philosophies and goals, Ryusei will take the time to help out his fellow Kamen Rider Club members and cheer them up just like Gentaro does with everyone else he meets.** Ryusei states that he's not different from the club in general. They try to do the best for each other, stick together through and through and would sacrifice themselves in order to help others.* OhCrap: [[spoiler: At the end of #27, he's unable to transform into Kamen Rider Meteor due to him untransforming at a ''very'' wrong moment and Kijima observing it. Made even worse because the Meteor Switch makes Tachibana able to keep an eye on everything Ryusei does.]]** [[spoiler: At the end of #31 when Tachibana cancels Meteor's transformation, revealing his identity to the Kamen Rider Club!]]* OnlyFriend: He may mock Gentaro for having so many friends and not taking things seriously, but the one thing that is keeping him from turning evil is that he's got a close friend - probably the ''only'' friend he'll ever consider - that he wants to save from a coma.* OnlySaneMan: To the Kamen Rider Club - except that he's having some doubts where Tomoko's witchcraft is concerned.* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Dragon was so unstoppable back then that Meteor didn't want Dragon to evolve into a Horoscope.* PetTheDog: [[spoiler:When Cygnus used Tomoko as a HumanShield, Meteor decided to halt his Mars Breaker punch to save her.]]* PreAsskickingOneLiner: "I'll decide your fate!"** As [[SuperMode Meteor Storm]]: "My fate will will deliver a storm!"* {{Pride}}: While subtle, #27 highlights that he is arrogant. He believes that his identity as Meteor won't be found out and that he wants the new upgrade for Meteor because he doesn't believe the suit is capable of giving him the power he needs. Tachibana notes that his arrogance is getting in the way of his true strength, [[spoiler: which is why not only does Ryusei get his identity discovered, but he doesn't get the Meteor suit back.]]* RedOniBlueOni: The blue to Gentaro's red. (One of two)* TheRival: Seems to be one with Leo Zodiarts.* SecretIdentity: He needs to keep the identity of Meteor this or else the suit goes bye bye. [[spoiler: Due to having the IdiotBall in #27, it happens.]]** [[spoiler: But thanks to him killing Gentaro, Tachibana cancels the transformation so now the Kamen Rider Club knows.]]** [[spoiler: And in the end of #32 all of the Kamen Rider Club-minus Ohsugi who came in a little later-are sworn to keep the identity a secret.]]* SecretTestOfCharacter: Tachibana offers him the upgrade he's been asking for [[spoiler:and permission to become Meteor again]] but he'll need to reach a certain place by a certain time... when he promised to return to the KMR holding Cancer Zodiarts at bay before that same time. [[spoiler:He chooses his friends over the upgrade, which is the right answer and grants him the reward anyway.]]* ShadowArchetype: This is Gentaro if Gentaro decided to just focus on his own needs rather than playing AllLovingHero to others.** He also is a ShadowArchetype for Shun whereas Ryusei being a somewhat jerk who uses people as he sees fit and does good to keep his identity safe, while Shun treats his classmates with respect and does good deeds [[GoodFeelsGood because it's the right thing to do.]]* ShipTease: With Nozama. [[spoiler:Even the Horoscopes seem to be shipping them, as it's exploited by Libra in episode #30 by turning into her to prevent Ryusei from finishing him off.]]** Brought up again in #41, where he becomes enraged that [[spoiler: Virgo/Tachibana sent "Tomoko-chan" (as what he's started to refer to her as) to the Dark Nebula.]] And [[BridalCarry in episode 42]]...Well the writers sure do love to tease, don't they?** And [[spoiler:even Ryo Yoshizawa/Ryusei Sakuta stated in his blog "So he actually like's Tomoko-chan!", after he said that Meteor was in Dark Nebula with Tomoko-chan.]]** In #44 the KRC members are shipping them...[[spoiler:Well mainly Yuki, because she was the one who made the couple ticket!]]** In #47, [[spoiler:with the Rabbit Hatch trashed and the Zodiarts attacking, he takes the time to make sure Tomoko is safe, even charging JK to watch out for her while he continues to fight.]]** At the end of the series, [[spoiler:Ryusei returns to Subaruboshi, and encourages Tomoko to visit him there, telling her that he is not dating Shirakawa as Tomoko thought.]]* SixthRanger: He fights the Zodiarts as Meteor, but joins the club as Ryusei ''under false pretenses'', that is until he begins BecomingTheMask.* SphereOfPower: Meteor's henshin forms a blue energy sphere around him for a short time. Unlike [[TransformationIsAFreeAction most other henshin effects that come with a convenient defensive barrier]], [[DynamicEntry this one can actually do some damage.]]* StarSpangledSpandex* SuperMode: [[color:blue:Meteor]] [[color:gold:Storm]]** GoldenSuperMode: Has a good deal of gold in the color scheme.* SurroundedByIdiots[=/=]OnlySaneMan: How he compares his work with the Kamen Rider Club to be.* TemptingFate: Sure Ryusei, tell your supporter that your identity will ''never'' be found out. [[spoiler: Surprise, surprise. It did. Nice job, idiot.]]* TransferStudentUniforms: He's even able to let Ohsugi let him wear it, once he shows him the School Handbook reguarding the uniform[[note]]it says that the uniform is recommended but not required[[/note]], also letting Gentaro ''finally'' off the hook for wearing his Delinquent style.* WatchThePaintJob: when Meteor was chasing Pegasus, Fourze hitches a ride on the Meteorstar using the Winch Switch, causing Meteor to shout something similar.* WeakButSkilled: Lacks Fourze's sheer arsenal, but makes up for it by being a skilled martial artist.* WeaponOfChoice** MixAndMatchWeapon: Meteor Galaxy*** PlayingWithFire: Mars Breaker [[note]]Meteor summons a small Mars planet, where he blasts the enemy with fire or uses it for a super-heated punch.[[/note]]*** PowerFist: Jupiter Hammer [[note]]Meteor summons a small Jupiter planet to punch the enemy with.[[/note]]*** RingsOfDeath: Saturn Sorcery [[note]]Meteor summons a small Saturn planet, where he swings energy rings at the enemy.[[/note]]** SimpleStaff: Meteor Storm Shaft*** BattleTops: Meteor Storm Switch's [[AllInTheManual Storm Topper]].* WellIntentionedExtremist: [[spoiler:He lets Lynx Zodiarts go in the attempt to find out whether or not it will become the Horoscope General: Aries Zodiarts.]]** [[spoiler: He kills Gentaro so he could ask Aries Zodiarts to heal his friend.]]* WhatTheHellHero: [[spoiler: In his debut episode, he's got flack from the Kamen Rider Club for ''letting the Lynx Zodiarts go free'' instead of letting them land the final blow on him.]]** [[spoiler:Episode 18 continues this with Tomoko screaming that Kamen Riders are supposed to be heroes, something that he ''definitely'' isn't in her eyes. However he brushes it off as he states that his view of justice isn't equal to what the Kamen Rider Club believe.]]** He also gets partially called out by Cygnus for running away while Tomoko was on her own. [[spoiler: At least Meteor didn't clock Tomoko in the face with a ''miniature Mars''.]]** [[spoiler: He '''kills Gentaro''' with the one-inch punch so he could save Jiro by allying himself with Aries Zodiarts. Even Tachibana was shocked and had to cancel the Meteor Storm transformation, and now the whole Kamen Rider Club knows what's happened. Made even worse because Tachibana himself stated that he could try to find a cure to save Jiro once Aries was captured.]]*** [[spoiler: The reason he did this was because Tachibana said he could ''TRY'' to save Jirou that way, not actually wake him up. Ryusei wants to save Jirou, and with the best Tachibana can do is only trying to save him, he went for the direct route, which is doing what the Aries Zodiarts wants so he can wake up Jirou.]]** [[spoiler: And then Jiro calls him out on what he did in #31, then goes unconscious for losing the 'will to live' thanks to Ryusei killing Gentaro.]]* WhenHeSmiles: In #26, he gives an honest smile that makes him seem that he's not a complete jerk after all.* [[spoiler:YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: As Tachibana states in #27, "Because Cancer has discovered your identity, you can no longer be Meteor."]]** Used again in [[spoiler: #31, when Tachibana revokes his decision on Ryusei gaining Meteor's powers after he kills Gentaro. However, the ending implies Tachibana gives him the power back after he's been redeemed]].[[/folder]]

[[folder:Tachibana]]!Tachibana->Voice Actor: NobuyukiHiyama

A masked man who resides in M-BUS, acting as support to Ryusei. [[spoiler:His true identity is Kuniteru Emoto, aka Virgo Zodiarts]].

* AnonymousBenefactor: [[spoiler:He's the one who sent Kengo the Gate Switch in the very beginning.]]* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler:#32, where he remote controls the Meteorstar as a distraction for Kengo to escape with Gentaro's body.]]* BigGood: For Meteor. [[spoiler:And as revealed in #32, the Kamen Rider Club as well, as he sent Kengo the Gate Switch that created the portal in the first place.]]** The reason he had Ryusei go undercover in the Kamen Rider Club was apparently [[spoiler:to help Fourze's powers to develop faster.]]* [[spoiler:BrokenPedestal: When revealed to be Emoto/Virgo, Ryusei doesn't take it well.]]* CoolMask* [[spoiler:DoubleAgent: Despite being Virgo, he was working AGAINST Gamou.]]* [[spoiler:EvilMentor: Revealed to be Virgo, who is Gamou's right-hand man, has threatened to kill the entire Kamen Rider Club to weaken Gentaro, killed Kengo's father, and sent his student Meteor into the Dark Nebula. Though {{subverted}} in the long run since he also wants to betray Gamou.]]* [[spoiler:FamousLastWords: "It's okay, because in the end...I had friends..."]]* FindTheCure: [[spoiler:believes that studying the Aries Switch would allow him to find a way to heal Jiro. Ryusei, however, didn't take the chance, and considering who else Tachibana was, he might have used the Switch for something other than healing Jiro.]]* {{Foreshadowing}}: A very easy-to-miss one which upon looking back leads to a developed twist: Tachibana tells Ryusei that Cancer is no longer of concern. [[spoiler: One wonders how he knew that Cancer was out of the picture]].* [[spoiler:GoOutWithASmile]]* KnowWhenToFoldEm: [[spoiler:in #36, he believes the Leo Zodiarts is too powerful for Meteor to fight, and advises Ryusei to just flee the next time they meet.]]* [[spoiler:{{Hypocrite}}: Is part of the Anti-Zodiarts Union despite the fact that he ''is'' a Zodiarts himself]].** Not so, it seems; [[spoiler:Emoto created the Tachibana cover identity so he could oppose Gamou without being discovered and killed.]]* MissionControl: He is to Ryusei what Kengo is to Gentaro.* MythologyGag: Names himself after Tobei Tachibana, the man who aided the eight Showa Riders.* OnlyOneName: And even then it's only implied to be but a pseudonym.* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Aside from the SadisticChoice below [[spoiler:which was a SecretTestOfCharacter anyway]], he's generally supportive and supplies advice and information to Ryusei. [[spoiler: And when Ryusei steps out of line in #31 by killing Gentarou to protect Aries, remotely deactivates the Meteor transformation immediately.]]* SadisticChoice: Makes Ryusei choose between getting his SuperMode and saving the Kamen Rider Club. [[spoiler:[[SecretTestOfCharacter It was a test. Had he sacrificed the Kamen Rider Club, he'd have not gotten the Meteor Storm Switch.]]]]* [[spoiler:SecretTestOfCharacter: His SadisticChoice. Had Ryusei chosen to get the Meteor Storm Switch instead of saving the Kamen Rider Club, he'd have been denied it.]]* ShoutOut: Come on, the robotic CoolMask? Music/DaftPunk!* TakeUpMySword: Acknowledges that he cannot fight on his own despite his goal of defeating the Zodiarts before their Cosmic Energy can cause more havoc. To this end he instead trains Ryusei to fight in his place.** Makes sense when it's revealed [[spoiler: Tachibana is the Virgo Zodiarts!]][[/folder]][[redirect:Characters/KamenRiderFourzeKamenRiderClub]]

*SecretTestOfCharacter: Tachibana offers him the upgrade he's been asking for [[spoiler:and permission to become Meteor again]] but he'll need to reach a certain place by a certain time... when he promised to return to the KMR holding Cancer Zodiarts at bay before that same time. [[spoiler:He chooses his friends over the upgrade, which is the right answer and grants him the reward anyway.]]

* {{Expy}}: Most of Ryusei and Tachibana's interactions are similar to that of the interactions between [[KamenRiderDouble Terui Ryu and Shroud]], while the formers being similar to the latters in nearly every way. It almost feels like a dark take on their relationship, as Tachibana has Ryusei on a tighter leash than Shroud with Ryu. [[spoiler: Nearly everything went to hell between Ryusei and Tachibana. Whereas Shroud used Ryu for her own gain, but was at best an anti-hero, Tachibana used Ryusei for his own goals, and is TheDragon to the BigBad. However, it's subverted and it turns out that Tachibana had clear intentions. Possibly more clearer than Shroud's own intentions, though he had a shorter life expectancy than Shroud's. The only thing that went right, even better than how it happened with Shroud, is that Fourze and Meteor were able to combine powers and create Meteor Fusion States]].

* TransferStudentUniforms: He's even able to let Ohsugi let him wear it, once he shows him the School Handbook reguarding the uniform[[hottip:*:it says that the uniform is recommended but not required]], also letting Gentaro ''finally'' off the hook for wearing his Delinquent style.
